1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme SL 2.8L from North America

Summary:

If I could still buy this car brand new, I would do it all over again!

Faults:

Dash design flaw; dash curls and buckles with minimum exposure to sun and heat, replaced twice during first 36 months.

General Comments:

Over all excellent vehicle, if I had realized how dependable, economical and comfortable this car would be for me I would have bought a matched pair.

I am a serious motor head and though this car isn't in the same class as the many muscle cars I've owned over the years, for a 6 cyl it is quick and responsive which is note worthy considering the body size and weight.

1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass international 2.8 from North America

Summary:

Faults:

A hose, battery, water pump, clutch, heater core, CV joint,... and a bunch of tires, and a couple of brake jobs. Wow. What a bang for the buck.

General Comments:

This has been the longest lasting car I ever owned, and the most pleasure. And it handles the road like a champ, and a 2.8L, 5 speed manual shift that just will not give up.

Too bad old age has set in. It is not looking as young as is ounce did, with the small rust spots, and the car that hit me in the side at 40MPH right in the drivers door a few years back (I'm just fine, thanks to this car).

With a 181,000, I sure got my value out of it, but with now the gas tank leaking, exhaust system needing total replacment. I think it's time to part, and find it a new owner.

Hello,

I own a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme International Series with 116000+ miles on it. It is a great car and I love it. I too am pissed with General Motors discontinuing the Oldsmobile. When my Olds passes on, I am buying any car brand besides GM. I was offered $2,000 for my car today and I know that I simply cannot find another automobile as comfortable and luxurious as this one. I have a 3.1 V6 automatic engine in mine and this baby is as quiet as a mouse! My car has no rust and looks like it was just purchased!
